I saw your mention (2011) of Janet Pagter Johl on Dr. E&#39;s Doll Museum blog and your wish to <br />learn more about Mrs. Johl as a person. <br /><br />I grew up near the Johl&#39;s in Groton, Connecticut during the late &#39;40s and 1950s, and Mrs. Johl took <br />me under her wing as a very young man because I showed a keen interest in puppetry. I was <br />befriended by all in her family and benfitted in many ways from her generosity. <br /><br />If you are still interested in hearing about Mrs. Johl, I would be pleased to share what I can recall.<br />Interesting how I can&#39;t remember what happened last week, but the memories of my childhood are for the <br />most part still vivid.<br /><br />I look forward to hearing from you.<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />Fred<br /><br />Fred Thompson<br />angusson@aol.comUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17132935437369974655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4983415539201501560.post-56454940786977029332015-05-17T08:26:05.914-07:002015-05-17T08:26:05.914-07:00Please help!Please help!etquesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371709590550209896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4983415539201501560.post-9542296649272919612014-10-08T18:02:24.364-07:002014-10-08T18:02:24.364-07:00I managed the Amelia Earhart Deli in the early 198...I managed the Amelia Earhart Deli in the early 1980s, but this is about Stella Thomas. We raised our kids in a house about ten blocks from Stella&#39;s doll filled garage. My two daughters loved stopping by because they could always talk me out of a nickel or dime for a doll. My wife and I always wondered about the house, so in 2007 when Jill biked by and saw someone working on it, she got a short tour. Then she called me and said, &quot;Pick up our house; someone is coming over to see it.&quot; <br /><br />Within a month, we had gone from not looking to moved. Stella had died in 2001, and her some Duane died six years late. A couple bought the house to flip. They wanted our house, so we traded houses! <br /><br />I always thought that we should have a little shelf outside the garage with a Raggedy Ann in Stella&#39;s memory, but I was vetoed. Instead, we have a bed of Stella De Oro Day Lilies along the side of the house as our tribute to Stella Thomas.Jim Calkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802930870083205348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4983415539201501560.post-27216431448155595892014-07-23T07:09:36.782-07:002014-07-23T07:09:36.782-07:00Thanks for your coment; I just saw it.

These are also ...Hi; thanks so much for your post. These are also called Frozen Charlottes, and there is a lot of good information in All Bisque and Half Dolls by Genevieve Angione, All Dolls are Collectible by Genevieve Angione, Pat Smith&#39;s book on all bisque dolls, Helen Young&#39;s The Complete Book of Doll Collecting, 1967, My article &quot;The Frozen Charlotte&quot; in National Doll World, late 1980s, websites like Our Dolls Ourselves, or just google the following: Penny Dolls, Badekinder [bathing dolls], all china and all bisque dolls, miniature dolls, Frozen Charlotte. The name comes from an old ballad attributed to Lorenzo Carter. I will do a post on these dolls if we are all itnerested. <br /><br />Penny dolls when I was growing up and first collecting were the white or stone bisque Japanese dolls, all in one piece, sometimes with wire jointed arms. Some were given as change in grocery stores in the 30s, others had molded clothes and represented cartoon or storybook characters, or children from around the world. etquesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371709590550209896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4983415539201501560.post-36555985475766719302013-01-26T08:14:39.847-08:002013-01-26T08:14:39.847-08:00My Grandma and Great Aunt use to bury their penny ...My Grandma and Great Aunt use to bury their penny dolls in match boxes.

Thanks for the comment on my blog; you ...Hi, John. Thanks for the comment on my blog; you made my day! :) I&#39;m not a designer, but I have a few suggestions anyway:<br /><br />Google fashion design schools, or look at big universities like SIUC Carbondale, which has these majors. Get in contact with them.<br /><br />Google and talk to people who are/were costume designers for theater and film. The folks at headlesshistoricals.com have theater as there major, and are on facebook.<br /><br />Read about designers like Coco Chanel. Some of them, like Chretien la Croix, had parents who made doll clothes.<br /><br />Read books on textile, costumes and clothes. One of the best is What People Wore, and it came out in 1971 or so.<br /><br />Talk to people at Vogue, McCalls, Butterick patterns. They are online, and many of these companies ask for resumes or feature employment opportunities. I&#39;m not a bonded, licensed, professional fashion designer by any means. I sew doll clothes and like to create paper dolls and collage, but I admire fashion. I always look for the September Vogue, and love W and Telva Magazine [Spain} Follow your hear, and your dream.<br /><br />For Inspiration, try the new book, Steal like an Artist; 10 things Nobdy Told you about Being Creative by Austin Kleon.New York; Workman Publishing, www.workman.com. Available at Barnes/Noble.<br /><br />Also, my book, A Bibliography of Doll and Toy Sources is on Amazon. I have sections on fashion and fashion dolls. Do you post pictures of your work anywhere? Good Luck, and thanks for the comment.etquesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371709590550209896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4983415539201501560.post-46690086279809356962012-08-10T03:02:47.433-07:002012-08-10T03:02:47.433-07:00I used to make a lot of doll clothes, but now I ma...I used to make a lot of doll clothes, but now I make pajama bottoms and other simple stuff like that. what is <a href="http://www.beinlook.com/" rel="nofollow">Current fashion trends</a>.I&#39;m also really proud of my french seems. :) What can I do to possibly one day be a fashion designer?

In older books, I&#39;ve seen values of $400 for near mint dolls, but modern doll prices have dropped. A good book is Denise van Patten&#39;s price guide, put out in about 2009, or books on celebrity dolls. Denise as a newsletter at about.com under Doll Collecting with price guides, too. Good Luck.etquesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371709590550209896noreply@blogger.com
